Today we’d like to introduce you to BTF Drippy.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I started to look into music when I was 14. At the time, my influences were Chief Keef, Gucci Mane, Young Thug, and John Legend. I was always told I had talent, I just needed the final product. My very first mixtape came in 2016 and it was called “Blessings from God”. It did about three thousand plays on Audio Mack which led to me transitioning to SoundCloud. During my junior year of high school, I began to get more involved with music. Yet again, the production was the problem. I still clearly remember a lot of individuals who doubted me and counted me out from the start and what they didn’t understand is music is a gradual thing, the more you do it, you expand your knowledge and the better you become.
Once I graduated High School, I didn’t go to College, during those six months of just playing with music, I found myself getting better at it and I continued to seek more every day I would sit and think about my hardships in life, whether if it was with Family, Females, Finance, Friends and it would just make me want to go harder. I don’t feel like I’ve made it yet but I definitely do feel like I’m making a statement. After my first official tape, “Outtayer,” and my latest hit “Big Kittle”, it is clear to see that with time, I’ll be recognized. Everything works with God’s timing.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I mean, where do I begin, when I say I came from nothing, I really came from nothing. There were times when I questioned my existence on earth. Growing up, I’ve seen a lot of things at a very young age. I mean I was only 12 when I remember being homeless. And when you go through certain things like that at a young age, it can either break you or mold you to do better and be a role model for your family. So I chose to do better. My parents always did what they could to support my siblings and me. We never had to question food being put on the table, our next move, School Fees. They supported me in everything I did. After my cousin died was the turning point of my music. Seeing him in that casket broke my heart into pieces. Never been heartbroken so bad before-and I made a promise at that funeral that everything I did, I did for him.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am an artist, an independent artist at that. I am most known locally for my song “Black,” which dropped during the “BLM” movement. Ever since then I’ve received 40k plays throughout All streaming platforms, label offers, and soon will start doing shows. I have my First Official album on the way and I can’t wait to expose it to the world, “Quebec Terrece” and “Armstrong Dr” I plan to put on the map!
